In my younger years I was treated for depression. However, I stopped treatment for a long time thinking I could “handle my problems alone.” I struggled throughout college even though I had good intentions. Finally, at the age of 29 I went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD. I began treatment and my focus has been excellent. It gave me a sense of empowerment. I finally felt I could see the world clearly as if putting on a new pair of glasses. I told many people that I felt like Patrick Swayze in Ghost, that I could finally focus to kick the can.
